Little Tots' Book of Nursery Rhymes - A Dean Board Book

 
 
 
 
 
Posted by PicasaA quick post for you tonight before my toddler wakes up with her stuffy nose again - this is a Dean board book published in 1979 with illustrations by the Johnstones that I recently bought at a used book store.  It's among the many books I gave my daughters for Christmas!  This book has many of the same pages in it that my "Deans Mother Goose Book of Rhymes" has in it but I was so happy to find this one as a board book!  That way I can let my toddler look at it and not worry about it getting ruined.  Then I can show her the more comprehensive one when she gets older.  Take a look at my other Deans/Johnstones posts as well though if you haven't already, as the pictures I posted there are different from the ones here.

    I don't know that I've ever seen any of these books in person, but my goodness, they look lovely! I love Curly Locks!

    The Dean books, with Janet and Anne Johnstone illustrations, are great vintage kids' books. The illustrations have a real 60's and 70's style to them. That style of art was very prevalent then, and the Johnstone artwork brings back a flood of memories. An illustrator with a similar style is Eric Kincaid.

      Yes I totally love that style- when I found my first Johnstones book at a sale I was so excited as I had totally forgotten about it from childhood!
